Glossary Hair Micro-Implantation

minimally invasive procedure transplanting individual hair follicles

Hair Micro-Implantation (HMI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hair loss by transplanting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to a balding or thinning area. This technique involves the precise placement of hair follicles to achieve a natural-looking hairline and density, and it is often preferred for its reduced recovery time and minimal scarring compared to traditional hair transplant methods.
